Preston Pub Festival is returning for 2024.

The city-wide celebration of pub culture will see 14 venues taking part, with live music, food specials, tap-takeovers, tasting events and more.

The event, which runs from Friday 13 to Sunday 15 September, follows the success of the first Preston Pub Festival last year.

Founded by a group of like-minded pub and bar owners, the festival aims to celebrate and support the city’s pub scene.

Kally Draycott from the Preston Pub Festival team said: “We’re back and even bigger than before. We’re looking forward to a weekend of fun celebrating Preston’s vibrant independent pub scene.

“Of the 14 participating venues, there will be something for everyone, from real-ale havens, to modern tap houses, to cosy wine bars – and every single venue will be putting on special events to mark the occasion.”

It’s estimated that last year’s event brought an additional £20,000 to the city. Organisers hope that the addition of four more venues and increased awareness will mean this year’s event will be an even bigger success.

Full line-up of venues:

• Plug and Taps
• The Black Horse
• PLAU
• Chain House Tap Room
• The Old Vic
• NIKO
• The Moorbrook
